Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
A
Doo-doo-doo
[Verse 1]
E
I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling,
B Bsus4 A
She's living, she's golden, she lives for me
She says she lives for me
E B Bsus4
Ovation her own motivation
A E
She comes around and she goes down on me
B Bsus4
And I make her smile like a drug for you
A
Do ever what you want to do
E
Coming over you
B Bsus4
Keep on smiling what we go through
A
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
[Pre-Chorus]
E B Bsus4 A
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
E
Chop another line like a coda with a curse
B Bsus4 A
Come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play she said
[Chorus 1]
E B Bsus4 A
I want something else
E
To get me through this
B Bsus4 A
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
E B Bsus4 A
I want something else, I'm not listening
E B Bsus4 A
when you say good---bye
[Post-chorus]

Doo-doo-doo
[Verse 2]
E
The sky it was gold, it was rose
B Bsus4 A
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
E
Some place back there
B Bsus4
Smiling in the pictures you would take
A
Doing crystal meth will lift
you up until you break
E B
It won't stop I won't come down
Bsus4 A
I keep stock with a tick-tock
rhythm, a bump for the drop
E
And then I bumped up
B Bsus4
I took the hit that I was given
A
Then I bumped again
Then I bumped again, said
[Pre-Chorus]
B A
How do I get back there to
B
The place where I
A
fell asleep inside you?
B A
How do I get myself back to
B
The place where you said
[Chorus 1]
E B Bsus4 A
I want something else
E
To get me through this
B Bsus4 A
Semi-charmed kind of life baby, baby
E B Bsus4 A
I want something else, I'm not listening
E B Bsus4 A
when you say Good---bye
[Verse 3]
E B
I believe in the sand
A
beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
E
An earthy feeling
B
I believe in the
A
faith that grows
And the four right
E B Bsus4
chords can make me cry
A
When I'm with you I
E
feel like I could die
And that would be
B Bsus4 A
all right, all right
[Bridge]
B
and when the plane came in
A B
She said she was crashing
A
The velvet it rips in
B
the city we tripped
A
On the urge to feel alive
E
But now I'm struggling
to survive
B
Those days you were wearing
A
That velvet dress
B
You're the priestess
A
I must confess
B
Those little red panties
A
They pass the test
E (hold)
Slide up around the belly face down on the mattress
B A
One
B A
And you hold me
B A
and we're broken
E
Still it's all that I
wanna do just a little now
[Verse 4]
E B
Feel myself head
Bsus4 A
made of the ground
I'm scared I'm not coming
E B Bsus4 A
down, no no, and I won't
E B Bsus4
run for my life
A
She's got her jaws now
E
locked down in a smile
B Bsus4 A
But nothing is alright, alright
[Chorus 2]
E Bsus4 A
I want something else
E Bsus4
To get me through this
A
life, baby
E Bsus4 A
I want something else
I'm not listening
E Bsus4 A E/G# F#m

Charlie and the MTA
E A
Let me tell you of a story 'bout a man named Charlie
E B7
On a tragic and fateful day.
E A
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family,
E B7 E
Went to ride on the M T A.
E A
But will he ever return? No he'll never return,
E B7
And his fate is still unlearned.
E A
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
E B7 E
He's the man who never returned.
E A
Charlie handed in his dime at the Scully Square Station,
E B7
And he changed for Jamaica Plain.
E A
When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel!"
E B7 E
Charlie couldn't get off of that train.
E A
Now all night long Charlie rides through the stations,
E B7
Crying, "What will become of me?
E A
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsey,
E B7 E
Or my brother in Roxbury?"
E A
Charlie's wife goes down to the Scully Square Station,
E B7
Every day at a quarter past two.
E A
And through the open window she hands Charlie his sandwich
E B7 E
As the train goes rumbling through.
E A
Now you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal,
E B7
How the people have to pay and pay?
E A
Fight the fare increase, vote for George O'Brien,
E B7 E
Get poor Charlie off the M T A!

[Verse 1]
C#m B C#m B C#m B C#m B
Now and then I think of when we were together
C#m B C#m B C#m B C#m B
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
C#m B C#m B
Told myself that you were right for me
C#m B C#m B
But felt so lonely in your company
C#m B C#m B C#m B C#m B
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
C#m B C#m
Like resignation to the end
B C#m B C#m B
Always the end
C#m B C#m B
So when we found that we could not make sense
C#m B C#m B
Well you said that we would still be friends
C#m B C#m B C#m B C#m B
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
[Chorus]
C#m B A B
But you didn't have to cut me off
C#m B A
Make out like it never happened
B C#m
And that we were nothing
B A B
And I don't even need your love
C#m B
But you treat me like a stranger
A B
And that feels so rough
C#m B A B
You didn't have to stoop so low
C#m B A
Have your friends collect your records
B C#m
And then change your number
B A B
I guess that I don't need that though
C#m B A B
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

C#m B A B
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
[Instrumental]
C#m B C#m B
C#m B C#m B
C#m B C#m B
C#m B C#m B
[Verse 2]
C#m B C#m B C#m B C#m B
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
C#m B C#m B C#m B C#m B
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
B
And I don't wanna live that way
B
Reading into every word you say
B
You said that you could let it go
B N.C.
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
[Chorus]
C#m B A B
But you didn't have to cut me off
C#m B A
Make out like it never happened
B C#m
And that we were nothing
B A B
And I don't even need your love
C#m B
But you treat me like a stranger
A B
And that feels so rough
C#m B A B
You didn't have to stoop so low
C#m B A
Have your friends collect your records
B C#m
And then change your number
B A B
I guess that I don't need that though
C#m B A B
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
[Outro]
C#m B A B
Somebody… I used to know
C#m B A B
Somebody… That I used to know
C#m B A B
Somebody… I used to know
C#m B A B
Somebody… (Now you're just somebody that I used to know)
C#m B A B
I used to know
C#m B A B
That I used to know
C#m B A B
I used to know
C#m B A B
Somebody…
